　　Co-created by JAC Motors and Huawei, the MAEXTRO Super Factory is a veritable "thinking factory". It features over 2,200 intelligent robots working in seamless coordination, achieving comprehensive automation and digitalization across its stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly workshops. The MAEXTRO brand, born from this deep collaboration, leverages innovative technology to propel the Chinese domestic auto industry toward the high-end market. Headquartered in Hefei, JAC Motors has continued to expand its global footprint, having delivered over 12 million vehicles to users worldwide and exported its products to more than 130 countries and regions.

　　At the MAEXTRO Super Factory Experience Center, Chinese and foreign representatives engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as smart vehicles, green mobility, and localized cooperation.
